/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Apparently the photographer was very professional, gave good shooting directions and posing instructions.

I wonder where the models are from? I dont recognize any of them but they look Japanese? Did AP bring their own (unlikely), hire Japanese models in Shanghai, or just style Chinese models in a Japanese way?

On phone so cba to trip. Just gonna post some pics from weibo and the photography shoot and the pop up store.

The kawaii azn fashn stuff like Bon Bon 21 or feizhliu is only on taobao. Normalfag fashion is pretty stupid and plain. I recommend you order on taobao and send it to your hotel, then you have the option of returning it. I'm not familiar with those cities, sorry!

However ask your guide or concierge or whatever for bu xing jie (walking street) 步行街 areas. Most likely to have cuter and cheaper stuff. Also stress you want to look at cute, cheap clothes aimed at teenagers. There are clusters of small shops like that with J-fashy type stuff.

Krad has said on their weibo they're too busy with new releases to rererelease it (I think its already been released 2-3 times?). I guess if you got a fund started it would be a possibility but be prepared for a demand of 50 per size and color as well as a price hike if it does happen.

Sorry the waist is really nice and natural unless you have an unusually long torso or over 180cm tall. It sits like some IW, much lower than most AP.

The twinkle ornament was supposedly produced by the original factory back when AP still manufactured in China. I hear their Dream Sky factory originals are just replicas tho, banking off their previous reputation.

Alipay is going to take 24 hours to verify your international credit card. The money's already been taken out of your card and the seller's already gotten a paid notice, likely it also gives them the same message. Just check back in 24h to see your payment status.

I selfpost quite often. Though never in the draw threads. Did a few cgl style rolls and a few OOTDs. Funny how everyone always calls me an ugly bitch or self-hating fatty when I used to trip but I just get compliments when I selfpost. I actually look for criticism selfposting sometimes but maybe /cgl/ is just realllly nice to its own.

Sorry hun they're not gonna give a shit. Likely block your friends account. Chinese artists and cosplayers have their photos and art stolen all the time and taobao does shit all. Like they won't accept psd files or timestamped previously posted on your blog as evidence. Mostly it takes lots of bad publicity to do anything, and shopkeepers may turn around and doxx or harass you. Heck, even taobao had a stolen art scandal a while back, stolen shit on their front page.

You chose a forwarding option right? Like the one embedded into the taobao checkout page. Those don't do repackaging. That looks terrible, they sent you straight all the fully packaged items as received in China not even opened. I mean they can read the shipping order to see who it's from and what's supposed to be in it but there's no guarantee you got your stuff.

Much better just to pay a little more handling for a shopping service. You save in actually getting 100% of what you ordered, service, and saved shipping from them dumping all that extra packaging.

Not me. Honestly. I actually think she's sorta cute in her videos.

Sorry babe uur not getting the special set. Every thirsty rich bitch on weibo is out to get it and its not even on auctions. Here's why.

>Preannounced special set series unknown
>Must be AP vip
>Spend over 20,000 jpy at AP on 18th
>Be AP Line account friend
>Selected amongst others for ticket to LaForet Christmas party
>1 dress per person rule

So you need to be in tokyo, ap vip member, spend allotted amount of money, AP Line friend, and finally LUCKY enough to be chosen from possibly thousands of other girls. I guess this is the most extreme way to avoid scalpers and sell only to Japanese + true fans. I heard on weibo AP is crazy salty about how the Celestial release was dominated by Chinese. Like a bunch of SSs who are vips didn't even get close either because they weren't in tokyo or didnt get selected.

Keep emailing in and hope we get a to order release girls...

My girlfriend and I went back to the holiday inn around 8:30 on saturday right as the fireworks were going off, didn't get into the hotel until 9:30 and didn't get out until 10:30. At one point i just turned my car off for like 20 minuted because the foot traffic wasn't letting cars move at all.

well, the chinese lolis are debating about the fabric and colour differences too. they're also wondering if the new stock photos are accurate (or just off, as you know, iw is pretty crappy at accurate colour depiction sometimes) and discussing whether using polyester equates to a lower quality, equivalent or higher quality new lotta.

>>7559153
the new lotta will be made with polyester or some kind of synthetic fabric

according to the poster miro, the JSK will cost more than 30k yen including taxes. (as for whether this includes any special taxes applicable to china, i don't know) and they changed the fabric type
